Verse 1: Not I, but Christ be honored, loved, exalted, Not I, but Christ be seen, be known and heard; Not I, but Christ in every look and action, Not I, but Christ in every thought and word. Verse 2: Not I, but Christ to gently soothe in sorrow, Not I, but Christ to wipe the falling tear; Not I, but Christ to lift the weary burden, Not I, but Christ to hush away all fear. Verse 3: Christ, only Christ, no idle word e'er falling, Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling sound; Christ, only Christ, no self-important bearing, Christ, only Christ, no trace of I be found. Verse 4: Not I, but Christ my every need supplying, Not I, but Christ my strength and health to be; Christ, only Christ, for spirit, soul, and body, Christ, only Christ, live then Thy life in me. Verse 5: Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision, Glory excelling soon, full soon I'll see; Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling, Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be.
